Election Commission Advances Special Intensive Revision of Electoral Rolls Across India
The Election Commission of India is conducting the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls across multiple districts and states, aiming to update voter lists by mid-July. District officials report varying progress in form distribution, digitisation, and verification, with efforts to ensure no eligible voter is excluded. Some regions, like Odisha, have seen significant reductions in draft voter lists. The EC emphasizes strict adherence to guidelines, transparency, and public awareness, while opposition parties raise concerns about potential exclusions of marginalized groups in certain areas.
